03.02.17 | This ain't lookin' good tbh. Apparently the left Joyconn constantly Desyncs, and the battery life for heavier games on portable mode is only an hour. |

03.02.17 | What?????????????????????????????????????????
That's really surprising. I haven't heard any problems from people who tested this. And this is Nintendo, they're pretty infamous for having imperfect testing sessions. |

03.02.17 | did anyone expect otherwise
where flagash at i wana tease him more about preordering a console the moment he was able to |

03.02.17 | As someone who was actually able to obtain a switch as of today, I have full faith in what this console's capabilities will be in the future. As for now it does have its problems, but id say the future seems bright for this one. Oh and yeah the new zelda is a great fucking game. |

03.02.17 | Nintendo didn't give IGN any money, hence the rating

03.02.17 | ign just gave zelda a 10

03.02.17 | I'm guessing that 1 in 1 million Switch's shipped won't work during the first month
So 2 switch's |
WhatKeepsMeHere
03.02.17 | I can't decide if I should get a Switch based on all the negative reviews or get Zelda for my Wii U that is essentially the last game made for it. |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | Reviewing consoles is stupid af. It's about the games at the end.
New Zelda is getting near perfect reviews... |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | Most reviews of the system are positive as far as I can tell. Mostly 8/10s.
People are just bitching about the Joy Cons, but I'll most likely end up getting a Pro Controller anyway.
Also the battery life doesn't bother me. I have my 3DS for long term portable gaming. |

No, it's not even remotely stupid. How are you supposed to enjoy a wonderful game if your console naturally has problems like controller desyncs and processing power issues? |

I agree, assuming we're talking about The Challenger."

which you can play on the wii u |
Frippertronics
03.02.17 | the Switch only has two worthwhile games coming out at launch so people who missed out on the launch dodged a bullet even w/o the chance the console wasn't buggy as fuck
wait until April/May dudes |
Atari
03.02.17 | who cares, I'm playing the new Zelda on the Wii U. midnight boys |

/defends argument using a game thats on the old console |
WhatKeepsMeHere
03.02.17 | Yeah, I think I'll just get Zelda on the Wii U and wait to see if the Switch improves its games lineup in a year or so. I was really hoping the Switch got an EA NHL game, but seems like a long shot for that |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | I'm a fanboy yeah, but I'd say the same thing about reviewing any other console. They promised to release a day 1 patch that will unlock the majority of the features, so why review it before that? It's stupid in my eyes. It might fix the desync issues SOME people are having.
Also, Chuck so you'd rather play on a console with inferior specs? |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | "How are you supposed to enjoy a wonderful game if your console naturally has problems like controller desyncs and processing power issues?"
Because I doubt they'd ship a broken console and if a company did, it would be more called out. This is not the case here. |
Snide
03.02.17 | "Because I doubt they'd ship a broken console and if a company did, it would be more called out."
Actually I think the term you're looking for and trying to propagate here is (it's okay when Nintendo does it) |
talktothehead
03.02.17 | To be fair BlackMalachite Nintendo has a pretty good track record of shipping consoles that work out of the box.
They're also pretty well known for their prototypes or demos not working out too well so... |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | "(it's okay when Nintendo does it)"
Not really. I'd be pissed if I couldn't actually play Zelda tomorrow, but that doesn't seem like the case at all.
The switch has inferior specs to what? The PS4 and Xbox? No fucking shit. Congrats on being one of those people. |
Snide
03.02.17 | Keep in mind that IGN has a retail version copy though, they're not using a beta. |

brb wasting hundreds of dollars so the one game i will ever play on a console looks slightly prettier
grow up |
talktothehead
03.02.17 | Not to mention Zelda doesn't look much better at all on Switch(in fact there's evidence they had to dumb down the lighting system from the 6 month old demo version to the retail version for the Switch - but they obviously did this on both versions to stop people from panicking).
Meh, I'll just get it later down the line. |
Snide
03.02.17 | I honestly thought the Wii U as a console was pretty underrated, so I'm glad to see some love for it in the comments. |
KILL
03.02.17 | "which you can play on the wii u"
at 20fps
but apparently even the switch performance isnt that great
fuck |
Snide
03.02.17 | Gamecube 2 when? |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | IGN and others have a retail copy but they still don't have the patch coming tomorrow. I love my WiiU. It is underrated. I hope they port some of the great games onto the Switch. |
Snide
03.02.17 | "but they still don't have the patch coming tomorrow"
Why the fuck do so many modern console launches wait until launch day to patch their console. Holy shit.
@thiswas: My Wii U is a Smash / Pokken Tournament machine so I feel you on that tbh |
AmericanFlagAsh
03.02.17 | The patch went live this morning I guess, I just read. IGN didn't have it, either way. We'll see when I get my hands on it tomorrow. |

03.02.17 | yup although i was so disappointed in the horizon 3 port on PC though, abysmal compared to the gears 4 one which ruled
speaking of horizon i just picked up horizon zero dawn, cant wait to rock it |
KILL
03.02.17 | and ye ai guess i missed halo 5 and master chief which sucks well actually after halo 4 i have no faith in 343 but i def wana play the collection |

03.02.17 | I mean I have an up to date PC and a PS4 and 3DS
But I need a Switch to play Nintendo games on |

03.02.17 | breath of the wild could be the best game ever and it still doesn't justify $400
also horizon rules yeah |

Halo 5 is dogshit and the collection is meh :/ |

03.06.17 | Buying a console upon release is a bad idea. Just wait until the kinks are fixed out. Also you get a larger selection of games already so you know if there's enough good games to make it worth buying. |
